And boy does Captain Courage really work!!
After 4 months of swimming lessons my little girl has finally jumped into the pool! No more watching other kids and thinking 'I want to do that but.....' or holding onto the instructors hand and walking off the edge.
Miss Cautious aka Miss Health & Safety has given way to Courage. The past month has seen her diving to the bottom of the pool, swim through hoops, constantly dunking herself and generally being very happy in the pool.
Now you might not think this is a big deal, but this is the girl that screamed getting in the bath and cries blue murder if water splashes on her face. Well now there's just no stopping her (apart from the inability to swim properly.)
A very proud mummy to say the least.
Courage is just one of the many values she has learnt from school and there are many - 22 I'm told! Not that I can name them all. But for this month, Courage is my favourite.
